Which digicam has the best combination of high ISO performance and a fast lens? I don't need a long lens. There are so many reviews at DPReview I get confused.

The Sigma DP-1 is interesting, but has no release date, or even final specs.

I would say the Fuji Finepix F30: f 2.8 at 35mm, f 5 at 105mm. Up to ISO 3200! Very good performance at ISO 800. Comparable to e.g. the nikon D70. I found it hard to believe when I first read it, but it's true. DPReview has a review.

DItto on the F30. Fuji is definitely the leader in low noise, high ISO digital point and shoots.
